Significance of the Election
The significance of the last election will be the subject
of heated discussion for a long time to come, as victor, vanquished, and objective observer alike try to figure out what
made the people vote as they did. But, regardless of the verdict of history, certain conclusions can be drawn right now
with small chance of rebuttal.
.First of all, Mr. Truman and his "Fair Deal" program
took a stunning defeat. It is true that the Democrats have
paper-thin majorities in House and Senate. But it seems impossible that any of the more controversial sections of that
program can be pushed through while this Congress is in office. The majorities are just too small. A good many of the
Democrats are notably unenthusiastic when it comes to the
Brannan plan, compulsory government health insurance, regional authorities and administrations, virtually unlimited
social security, and the rest. They will line up with the strong
Republican block to stop them. The defeat of so many Democratic stalwarts rubbed more salt in the Administration's
wounds. The Joss of such Senators as majority leader Lucas
and Tydings and Thomas is a bitter one.. Men such as these
carried much of the load for the President i,n his dealings
with Congress. They will be extremely difficult to replace. At
the moment, there seem to be no willing candidates for majority leader to succeed Mr. Lucas. Whoever the choice is, he
will have a rugged and thankless job next year.
Perhaps the most unequivocal Truman supporter of all
was Mrs. Helen Gahaga.n Douglas. Site lost badly in the California senate race—and it must be remembered that this lis
a key state, which Mr. Truman carried last time. Another
blow W3s for James Roosevelt to go down to overwhelming
defeat in his try for governor.
But the Truman administration and the Democratic party were not the only losers in this election. Organized labor,
as a political force, took a terrific whipping. The Taft-Fer-
Rtison election in Ohio was the key spot. The CIO-AFL high
commands did everything conceivable to beat Senator Taft,
whom they regard as their arch-enemy. Up to shortly before
the election, they were confident of success. They felt that,
at the worst, Taft would just squeak by. Actually, he smothered his opponent with a 400,000-plus majority. He even carried most of the industrial counties where union membership is the greatest. In other words, the rank-and-file didnt
obey their union officers. And that was true in other states
and in other contests, including a number of very important
gubernatorial battles.
Another interesting point is that political registrations
don't necessarily mean a thing any more. Oregon is a fine
example. In that state, on the basis of registrations, Democrats now outnumber Republicans by a substantial margin.
Yet the GOP swept this election. Republican Senator Morse
.beat his Democratic opponent by better than three-toJone. Republican Governor McKay beat his Democratic opponent, a
strong pro-Truman man, by two-to-one. The people voted for
individuals, not party labels.
What caused all this? The international mess; the growing worry over government domestic spending; the feeling
held by millions of people that the Administration has "been
keeping secrets from them; the equally potent feeling that
we have carried internationalism to an extreme and that it
is just ,not possible for us to support and police the whole
world; the ominous turn of events in Korea—such forces as
these, it seems now, caused the great revolution in voting
that occurred last November 7.
JANUARY DRAFT QUOTA:
Defense Dept. has asked Selective
Service System to call 40,000 inductees during January for assign- ;
ment to Army. The Navy and Air
Force have not requested any,
draftees for current build up of I
strength and do not plan to place '
any calls for January. Armys
Januarv call brings its total requests to 250.00P. It called 50,000
in September, 50,000 in October,
70,000 in November, 40,000 in December and the January quota of

Christmas Seal Drive Now in Full Swing
Everyone Urged to Mail Now
Is your Christmas Seal envelope pigeon-holed away in
some remote corner of your desk still awaiting a contribution? The 1950 Christmas Seal campaign began here November 20 and information released by the tuberculosis division
of the Ohio Department of Health, the county's own Central
Case Register, and officials of the seal campaign, shows 'a
need for full financial support of the sale by everyone.
Tuberculosis, target of Christmas Seal funds, has been
greatly weakened in Stark County
through a growing detection and
education program, cooperated in
by private physicians. Molly Stark
Sanatorium, The Stark County
Tuberculosis and Health Association, and an interested public. But
because tuberculosis' is contagious,
it could easily wipe out this hard-
earned progress if preventive measures are not maintained.

The most vicious camp follower of war is an ugly tension, an upsurge of hatred and prejudice that is born of suspicion and fear. There is a withdrawing into groups and in
uneasy watching one group of another. We judge not by the
actions of the good majority of the group, but by the agitation of the lowest element.
' :' this is true of all groups, whether they be minorities
in .-tiie nation, o,r minorities within the majority. It is as true
today of Labor and'Industry as it is of Negro and White—
or of religious faiths, set one against the other.
- Bring it.dowil to the personal equation to see it properly.
Would you have your own greup judged b.v its poorest representatives—or by the best? We must be as fair to others
as -Wewould have them be fail' to us. We all make mistakes.
Ij Mis not add to our mistakes the sin of hasty generaliza-
There is no sense in mincing matters. We cannot destroy
tension by ignoring it. This crackle in the air may be but
heat lightning. We must allow it to become the forerunner
of a storm. It makes'no difference what causes shameful acts
of violence. It makes no difference who strikes first or why.
Tiie fact remains that it should never have happened and it
must stop now!
This unreasoning tension breeds- a miasma of fear which
is fatal if it is allowed to spread. Let us not let it raise our
minds to fever heat. It is as' contagious as the plague that
leaves desolation in its wake. We have seen what happened
when it spread abroad. Let us resolve not to let it come here.
' Let us condemn evil wherever itl exists, not leap to defend what we are not sure is right. Let us praise righteous
actions and righteous men)Sna matter to what group they
belong,. Let us not let resentiment for wrongs done blind our
vision.'
We must stamp out this dangerous feeling' now, once and
for, all, by joining as individuals with all those who think as
we do, joining in a spirit ol understanding, with the feeling
that our nfeiglibov is as eager .to do right as *we are. We must
eradicate the tension at its source—within ourselves. Let's
stop it now! ,,.,.,',

resume classes on Monday
morning, December 4, superintendent Raymond Trachsel
announced today.
The snowstorm, that clogged county roads and all but
made impossible the walks
and streets of. the village,
made the week of enforced
vacation necessary.
His film and lecture will describe
in detail the lonely, fogbound islands that, are the only land home
of the North American, .fur .seal
herd. He "ill sh'-.v tho two '••mill
villages of St. Paul and St. George,
maintained bv the United States
government, and describe the life
nf the -|;")0 Aleut Indians that make
up the native population.
The vast, teeming seabird colonies that inhabit the sea cliffs of
the I-'ribilofs. the great reindeer
herds, blue foxes and other wildlife in addition fo the seals will be
shown in the two-reel film, as will
the gardens, small herds of cattle and other evidences of civilization maintained on the islands in
defiance of the cold, .foggy summers.
For a brief period in July lupine,
initio* poppy, lousewort, wild peas,
primroses. Alaskan chrysanthemums and oth?r wLldflowei's cover
the treeless, ,mossy moors of the
volcanic islands with a glowing,
mgiti-colored carpet of bloo.m. This
lavish wildflower display, in natural color, provides some of the
most beautiful sequences of the
picture.
The second reel of the film is
devoted entirely to the enormous
seal herd that is the outstanding
feature of the Pribilofs and the
greatest wild animal spectacle to
be found anywhere in the world
today.
Early each spring starting in
late April and May, the seal herd
begins to return to the rockv
beaches from, its long winter migration. The old, mature bulls
come ashore first and each selects
the "harem ground" that he will
keep and defend until the breeding season ends in August.
I A little later the cows arrive
•from their wintering grounds, as
jfar south in the Pacific as lower
California. With their arrival ac-
jtivitv in the seal rookeries mounts
'swiftly to a frenzied climax. Each
bull acquires- as iman.v wives as he
can get and keep. The ihare.ms
range from one cow, held with
great, difficulty by the voung. inexperienced "idle" bulls, up to as
manv as 125 kept by the tough old
beach masters.

in .film, the courtship is at it-* wild
and savage peak, The beaches
teem with millions of roaring,
bawling seals, fighting, guarding
huge harems, stealing wives, eloping, patching up domestic difficulties, suckling little black pups
and carrying on at fever pitch all
the activities of the brief breeding season.
All of this tremendous spectacle
is recorded in the lecturer's film.
It shows amusing courtship antics
between sleek, mild-eyed little
eovs and their great, roaring,
blustering overlords. Young bulls
lope along the beaches on wife-
stealing expeditions, attractive pup
seals by the hundreds learn to
swim in sheltered tide pools -ilong
the rocky shore, bulls stnee savage, no-auarter battles and other
bulls co.me charging out to drive
off the intruding cameraman.
It is also in July that, the sealing operations of the government
roach their climax with the killing
of Ihousands of 3-year-old "bachelor" bulls for their pelts, the
Ahiskian sealskin of the fur trade.
The Prilbilof herd is the only
source nf these skins and East's
film relates the fascinating story
of the government's "production-
line" methods of killing the animals humanely and removing the
pelts at a rate of 1,000 an hour.
The work is done by Aleut sealers
under the careful supervision of
government agents.
"The first morning after I arrived on St. Paul island," East relates. "I saw a. crew of fewer than
40 Aleuts kill and skin 2.5S8 seals
in less than three hours."
His film is the first complete
story of the sealing operations
which the government ever permitted ' to be taken for public
showing. It has been carefully
edited to remove all actual killing
scenes but it does show the early
.morning "roundup" of the bachelors, the drive to the killing
meadow, the careful count and
measurement af the pelts and their
removal bv the skinning crews

On the brighter side. Mr. Eix-»
ler points out that "Christman
Seal dollars are working throughout the year to tell us how to fight
and prevent tuberculosis, So far
this year,' small individual contributions for seals have" .paid for
over 200,000 health pamphlets and
125 health talks and imovies to get
these facts into as many homes as
possible in order to prevent cases
instead of curing them."
Tuberculosis association costs
have increased like everything else
and additional funds from this
once-a-year seal sale will be
necessary to continue its regular
program of health education and
detection by the mobile unit, he
emphasized.
"We've come a long way toward
our ultimate goal of eradication of
TB," Mr. Bixler added, "and jiow
it's.vip to uss to keep going in the
right direction. Your purchase of
Christmas Seals can help point the
way."'

The most vicious camp follower of war is an ugly tension, an upsurge of hatred and prejudice that is born of suspicion and fear. There is a withdrawing into groups and in
uneasy watching one group of another. We judge not by the
actions of the good majority of the group, but by the agitation of the lowest element.
' :' this is true of all groups, whether they be minorities
in .-tiie nation, o,r minorities within the majority. It is as true
today of Labor and'Industry as it is of Negro and White—
or of religious faiths, set one against the other.
- Bring it.dowil to the personal equation to see it properly.
Would you have your own greup judged b.v its poorest representatives—or by the best? We must be as fair to others
as -Wewould have them be fail' to us. We all make mistakes.
Ij Mis not add to our mistakes the sin of hasty generaliza-
There is no sense in mincing matters. We cannot destroy
tension by ignoring it. This crackle in the air may be but
heat lightning. We must allow it to become the forerunner
of a storm. It makes'no difference what causes shameful acts
of violence. It makes no difference who strikes first or why.
Tiie fact remains that it should never have happened and it
must stop now!
This unreasoning tension breeds- a miasma of fear which
is fatal if it is allowed to spread. Let us not let it raise our
minds to fever heat. It is as' contagious as the plague that
leaves desolation in its wake. We have seen what happened
when it spread abroad. Let us resolve not to let it come here.
' Let us condemn evil wherever itl exists, not leap to defend what we are not sure is right. Let us praise righteous
actions and righteous men)Sna matter to what group they
belong,. Let us not let resentiment for wrongs done blind our
vision.'
We must stamp out this dangerous feeling' now, once and
for, all, by joining as individuals with all those who think as
we do, joining in a spirit ol understanding, with the feeling
that our nfeiglibov is as eager .to do right as *we are. We must
eradicate the tension at its source—within ourselves. Let's
stop it now! ,,.,.,',
North Canton Schools
To Open Monday, Dec. 4
North Canton Schools will
resume classes on Monday
morning, December 4, superintendent Raymond Trachsel
announced today.
The snowstorm, that clogged county roads and all but
made impossible the walks
and streets of. the village,
made the week of enforced
vacation necessary.
His film and lecture will describe
in detail the lonely, fogbound islands that, are the only land home
of the North American, .fur .seal
herd. He "ill sh'-.v tho two '••mill
villages of St. Paul and St. George,
maintained bv the United States
government, and describe the life
nf the -|;")0 Aleut Indians that make
up the native population.
The vast, teeming seabird colonies that inhabit the sea cliffs of
the I-'ribilofs. the great reindeer
herds, blue foxes and other wildlife in addition fo the seals will be
shown in the two-reel film, as will
the gardens, small herds of cattle and other evidences of civilization maintained on the islands in
defiance of the cold, .foggy summers.
For a brief period in July lupine,
initio* poppy, lousewort, wild peas,
primroses. Alaskan chrysanthemums and oth?r wLldflowei's cover
the treeless, ,mossy moors of the
volcanic islands with a glowing,
mgiti-colored carpet of bloo.m. This
lavish wildflower display, in natural color, provides some of the
most beautiful sequences of the
picture.
The second reel of the film is
devoted entirely to the enormous
seal herd that is the outstanding
feature of the Pribilofs and the
greatest wild animal spectacle to
be found anywhere in the world
today.
Early each spring starting in
late April and May, the seal herd
begins to return to the rockv
beaches from, its long winter migration. The old, mature bulls
come ashore first and each selects
the "harem ground" that he will
keep and defend until the breeding season ends in August.
I A little later the cows arrive
•from their wintering grounds, as
jfar south in the Pacific as lower
California. With their arrival ac-
jtivitv in the seal rookeries mounts
'swiftly to a frenzied climax. Each
bull acquires- as iman.v wives as he
can get and keep. The ihare.ms
range from one cow, held with
great, difficulty by the voung. inexperienced "idle" bulls, up to as
manv as 125 kept by the tough old
beach masters.
I Bv early Julv, the time when

The Plain TownBhip road crews
have done an outstanding job during the snow emergency. Thev new I
have all of the 200 .miles of road i
in Plain township open.
The six iman force headed by-
Ray Gill, road superintendent, who
man a grader and two big trucks
with snowplows have covered all
the roads at least once, some twice
and some three times.
The men and equipment started
out Saturday morning and with
only brief rest periods returned
to their posts to widen the thoroughfares which they had already
made passable. The only ' road
which was really tough was the
road known a.s Whiskey Hill road
near Middlebranch. where a deep
drift had to be attacked with grader and shovels.
